Dave_C - I tried adding that files snippet but again it doesnt work. It just loads the download page without asking for user/pass:
and in the directory is:
Controllers
home.php
view.php
+SubFolder (and the subfolder contains the .htaccess and download.php as well as all the other controllers for the subsite)
--> .htaccess
--> download.php


<Files download.php>
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Software Download"
AuthUserFile "/home/squaresa/.htpasswds/public_html/lintel/passwd"
Require valid-user
</Files>

Passwords are generally stored in a file named .htpasswd in the format of
Code:
user:password
where there is one user and password per line and the password is not simply plain-text, but an MD5 hash.

Once you've got your .htpasswd file straightened out, make sure the AuthUserFile portion in your Files directive is correct and that the mod_auth module is installed and enabled in Apache.

Also, you should ensure your password file isn't in a public directory. Instead, you should place it in a directory above the root documents folder for security purposes.

Dave, the problem seems to be: If i go to the actual filepath of the file in the browser it asks for the password, i.e. http://domain.com/fold/application/controllers/sub/download.php it asks for the password.

But if i go to the CI path, i.e. http://domain.com/sub/download it doesnt ask for the user/pass.

Is there a solution?
